Broome Park Golf & Country Club

Broome Park Hotel, set amid a sweeping private estate just outside Canterbury, is great for families with 3 or 4 kids. Historic grandeur meets modern comfort here, with a main house dating to the 17th century and woodland log cabins tucked throughout the grounds. Families can fill their days with indoor swimming, rounds of tennis or squash, or a walk around the gardens. The championship golf course invites players of all ages, and there’s even croquet on the lawn. Parents and kids will appreciate the free on-site parking, spacious lawns, and the easy drive to animal parks, castles, and the coast.

Dining is effortless, too. The on-site Kitchener Restaurant covers all meals, including kid-friendly options, with breakfast buffets, high tea, and lunch and dinner service. There’s free Wi-Fi for the whole crew and an indoor pool open year-round, a huge plus whatever the weather. With Howletts Wild Animal Park, Dover Castle, and the countryside all within easy reach, this is a practical hub for days out and family adventures.

Lodge (Sleeps up to 6): These family-size woodland lodges feature two bedrooms (one with a double, one with two twins), a spacious living room with a sofa bed, and a fully equipped kitchen. Each bedroom has its own TV, and there are two full bathrooms, making mornings easy for everyone.
